I know its heartbreaking losing to eastbourne and I speak as someone who didnt make the 12hr round trip however, they were unbeaten at home and our confidence is rock bottom.  I think the shock of yesterday comes from an expectation of a new manager bounce which sometimes does happen but not always.
Now we must try to be positive or else whats the point in even bothering to turn up, I dare say we might get battered a few times this season and not play pretty football but our mindset needs to be one of small victories like when we first got promoted.  No one on this forum would have put too much by an away defeat four years ago, a defeat is a defeat and who really thought we would get it back after going 2-0 down so quickly.  Our chance will come, it will probably be at home and it might start with a scrappy draw, we need to play and support as if we are major underdogs.
I'm not delighted about it, its not great, but thats how it is, time for our new reality.

The problem yesterday was that we looked frightened even before the kick-off. We are in an awful rut and have been since March. Confidence is low, resourses are low, funds are low and spirits with players and supporters are low. Lets be honest that our home gates dont match our performances when we are on a good run, though we have a better hard-core support than most clubs including better that the club that is currently top. Things are not going to be resolved by having a pop at the players and club officials. None of us likes being in the current mess. The days are long gone where teams could obtain points by kicking the opponents off the park. What was disappointing yesterday was that we lost to a poor side that will probably also  be in the relegation fight come April.  We should have won there the last 2 seasons and didnt.

What you on about mate? We were living the Alty dream yesterday! 

No but seriously, we are going to try and continue our away support because the team 100% need it from as many people as possible at the moment. Histon will be the next one for my lot I think..
